AvHistory 1% Aircraft General Statement and Installation Instructions
Gregory Pierson's Version 4.0 first released in August 2006 represents a complete update of the AvHistory 1% Assembly Line Process (1%ALP). Compared to our previous efforts, 4.0 is an order of magnitude improvement and a closer step towards our goal of producing aircraft that perform within 1% of the real aircraft. For additional info on Version-4 flight packages see the included AvHistory - Version-4 1%ALP text file.

Fw-190D-9 DORA - "Long Nose FW"
This aircraft was built by GregoryP using the Version 4.00.164 AvHistory 1% Assembly Line process. It is based on the FW-190D aircraft designed and built for use in CFS3 by VB Planes' Graham Rollinson.
John BRAVO/4 Whelan painted Dora as Fw190D-9 W. Nr 600424 Red 1. Red 1 was an aircraft assigned to JV-44. It was flown by Lt. Heinz "Heino" Sachsenberg from a base at Munchen-Riemin at the end of the war in April 1945.
The FW-190 was the only completely successful piston-engined fighter introduced by the German air force, the Luftwaffe, after World War II started. The D represents the "second-generation" Fw-190s which followed the Fw-190A into combat.
The Fw-190D interceptor was considered by many German pilots to be the finest piston-engined fighter in Luftwaffe service.
The longer-nosed Fw-190D, with a redesigned tail, was a success with pilots because of increased engine reliability and performance much superior to the Fw-190A-8 in climb, dive and level speed.
Pilots considered it more than a match for the P-51D "Mustang". Armament was two 20mm Mauser MG-151/20 cannon in the wing (with a robust 250 rounds per gun) and two 13mm Rheinmetall MG-131 cannon (with 475 rounds per gun) over the engine.
Small batches of Fw-190D-0 and D-1 preproduction fighters were delivered for service evaluation in Spring and Summer 1943, just as the American 8th Air Force was starting large daylight bombing raids.
Construction started at Marz, Cottbus, and Kassel-Waldau in Summer 1944. This was part of a major expansion in German single-engined fighter production initiated 2 years earlier by Erhard Milch, chief of aircraft procurement and supply. Over 1,000 fighters a month were now entering air defense service.
Figures vary, but approximately 13,250 fighters
